Now with the bad stuff it's the way lol, back to the fun stuff. My sump is pretty small but wanted to have a place for some cheato. I removed the media cups and used that section for some macro algae. I had the light from my last tank. I got the cheato from a local reefer. So far I like it. I'm seeing more pods and I even saw a baby brittle starfish down there. The cheato has also grown in the month since going in. This is right after getting the light put in. The cups are gone now and that area is already half filled with cheato.

Got busy on the tank today! No distractions lol. Underneath my last tank was a spiderweb of wires and dosing lines. I also had the benefit of a corner that no one could see, so I put all the power supply bricks back there. I don't have that option now. The warden said everything must be beneath the tank..... Challenge accepted. I went to Menards and broke out a the few tools I had and came up with this control board.

you did a much better job than me with organizing the cables and wires. i have same tank. look at my ****** mess of a tank. BTW i dont like the plumbing, with smaller sumps like this, its very hard to get back in the return pumps area and do any cleaning or seeing whats going on because the pipes block you. i replaced my filter socks with red seas plastic cups, and use super cheap filter floss. that way every 3-4 days i can just toss it and not worry about washing socks anymore. its made my life so much easier. i also replaced the auto top off. i bought a 5 gallon reservoir (its actually a black trash can that looks like a reservoir haha) and use the tunze osmollator ATO. its kept me from filling it up every 2 days to now every 5 days.

heyyyyy i have the same doser! and the same tank haha. the doser works well for $80. i did run into a problem of one of my 4 doser motors crapped out on me. had it for 10 months before it went out. the other 3 still work.
Can i suggest tossing the filter socks and getting this link here. It made my life so much easier using those and cheap filter floss from amazon. i spend $15 bucks on floss and it lasts me like 2 months. I just cut the fliter rolls into like 8 inch squares, put em in a bag, and when its time i just toss old one and shove new one in. takes like 10 seconds. never have to deal with hassle of washing socks again.

Here is my 10 month old tank.

Beautiful tank, That filter basket thing is a great idea, I'm buying them this week to try and see how it goes.

Under my last tank looked exactly like yours lol. You don't wanna see behind that control board lol! I usually do the same with the cups and floss. I've been looking at bigger sumps for those same reasons.
